VO2Max quantifies your body's efficiency in utilizing oxygen during exercise. This measurement provides an objective assessment of your fitness level and serves as a primary indicator of longevity. Through respiration, your lungs absorb oxygen and transfer it into your circulation. Red blood cells then carry this oxygen to your organs and muscles. Muscle cells require oxygen to generate ATP, the body's principal source of energy. ATP furnishes muscles with the power needed for movement and physical effort. The better your ability to absorb and use oxygen, the more ATP is generated, which is why your breathing accelerates with exertion.
An elevated VO2Max score indicates that your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles are functioning together with remarkable efficiency, meaning your body can absorb, transport, and utilize oxygen more effectively. This supplies your muscles with increased energy, which in turn boosts endurance, enhances performance, and speeds up recovery. For this reason, the VO2Max value is recognized as one of the most crucial measures of cardiovascular fitness and long-term well-being.
We strongly advise a VO2Max assessment, particularly if you experience any of the following symptoms:
As the primary marker for longevity, we suggest testing it at least once a year to assess your current level and pinpoint training requirements to improve your chances of healthy aging. It serves as an excellent follow-up biomarker to determine if your cardio and interval training have meaningfully impacted your longevity. VO2Max provides direction for your ambitions and training focus. Beginning with a lower value offers a substantial opportunity for improvement.
Our primary commitment is to help individuals feel their absolute best at every age while guiding them toward longer, healthier lives. To realize this, we adhere to several foundational principles:

In our practice, we rely exclusively on evidence-based methods and medical diagnostics that have been scientifically proven to make a difference. Our focus is on preventing the “four horsemen” of aging—cardiovascular disease, cancer, metabolic dysfunction, and neurodegeneration—rather than offering trends like epigenetic age tests or wellness drips. Our Prevention strategy addresses tailored exercises, nutrition, sleep, mental health and if necessary support by supplement and medication.
The cost for VO2Max Session is based on the German healthcare pricing system (GOÄ – Gebührenordnung für Ärzte). We encourage you not to stop at VO2Max test alone, but to begin your full Longevity Journey with us. Here is what our protocol looks like:
